Black and white is mythical, quite parisian, very Coco
Chanel, yet I don’t wear it that much. Of course I am obsessed with Chanel
(what woman in her right mind is not ?), but I believe (I know a lot
disagree on this !) it needs to be worn in a certain way, otherwise it can
look quite dated.

Don’t get me wrong, black and white will always be ultra
chic, but it can also be quite ‘obvious’, like when tourists think it’s THE
thing to wear in Paris to look like a parisian…

Black and white needs to be modernized, and you have plenty of options for
this ! You can choose a rock look, with dark grey jeans, a white leather
jacket and boots, a more boho outfit with black denim shorts and a lace or silk
white shirt, plus tons of jewelry, you have the fashion option, with a white
dress and a black jacket and beautiful heels (Valentino are a must), or you can
also be edgy, like me today.

The queen of edgy style is undoubtedly Christine Centenera,
and for me, you can’t beat her when it comes to black and white. She achieves
to be both chic and edgy, and never puts a foot wrong in my opinion. She has
access to the best clothes, she is married to an amazing Australian designer,
and she has the most unique and exquisite taste, so I won’t even say my outfit
is inspired by her, because even if I wanted, I just couldn’t…

Edgy style is quite hard to define : I would say
it’s both tough and sharp, classic and ‘avant-garde’ at the same time. And yes,
edgy often equals leather. So here I am wearing my leather skinny pants (told you
I’d wear them all the time !), paired with a simple black tee and a sharp
white blazer. With different shoes, my look would have been completely
different : for instance, ballerinas or a pair of simple black pumps would
be too classic for this black and white outfit, that needed to be toughened up.
So I picked the most edgy pair of shoes I own, my black Givenchy sandals. I
absolutely adore them, because they always add a very fashionable touch to ANY
outfit !

So black and white, yes, but always make sure your look is
just as much ‘Christine Centenera’ as it is ‘Coco Chanel’ !

I'm so in love with your blog and your Instagram! Love your style! It's very easy to wear, but still very cool and classy. I always dream about your clothes and your shoes and bags are so amazing!
